1 answer:

8 0

Michael Mack talks about how contemporaries of William Shakespeare made it clear to literature lovers that reading Shakespeare's works will make them learn not only about literature but also about how art is related to literature.

Explanation:

In the entire speech of Mack, he gives references to his ideas and opinions. With a clean approach on what other's works consist of and what Shakespeare writes, he talks about the similarities and greater differences and difficulties in Shakespeare's works. He says that reading Shakespeare can help readers understand more about language and expression. Once we reread those classics, we start to realize how expressions, actions relate to the personality and characterization of that specific character in that play.

Lines 111-132 are towards the end of this speech by Mack. In these lines, Mack talks about his personal take on rereading Shakespeare every time he has to deal with something different in life, relationships and work. He gives a classic reference from Macbeth, about how all of us crave for power and behave like Macbeth in reality.

In these lines, Mack talks about how we understand the art of living when we reread these works in English literature and not just art of language.

Think about the character of Rainsford. Which character in the story is his foil? Whitney Ivan General Zaroff

Hatshy [7]

A foil is the near complete opposite of the main character (whichever character they want you to find a foil for).

Rainsford and Whitney were good hunting friends with numerous similar interests. They could not be foils because of how close in similarity they were. Even when they disagreed on how animals felt about being hunted, Whitney seemed open to and intrigued by Rainsford's points and way of thinking.

Ivan is a near irrelevant character, being a mere Cossack who follows whatever General Zaroff says. He is mindless and has almost zero traits to even compare to Rainsford, let alone any traits aside from a mindless follower to begin with.

The answer would be General Zaroff. This is almost like the cliche protagonist vs antagonist foil. Both of them are hunters, but different kinds. Zaroff got bored with animals and wanted to hunt human people instead, whereas Rainsford had enjoyed the thrill of an animal hunt and thinks that the hunting of people is murder. Zaroff is more heartless and cold, a killer, if you will. Rainsford seems to think highly of actual people, and had no interest in playing Zaroff's game.

Inessa [10]

Nature, for Bryant, does not have much consolation to offer to the reader who is experiencing depressing thoughts about death. The best Bryant can say is that it happens to everybody and that Nature will continue to exist in all its wonder and beauty after we are gone.

Read this excerpt from chapter 1 of The Scarlet Letter.

Advocard [28]

I believe that it is part of the rising action that reveals criminal activity.
If it's a custom to build a cemetery and a prison immediately, it means there is a reason for that - there is a lot of crime which ends up with someone being dead. We don't see the importance of prisons only, but rather of cemeteries as well, which is why A is incorrect; B is incorrect because Puritans weren't really that happy; D is incorrect because we don't see their work ethic here.
